Is it just a taxes thing?
School district is one of our biggest factors and based on balancing our wants/needs with school quality, it sounds like we want to be in the Shawnee Mission East school district. It’s the only highly rated district on the KS side that is not a Blue Valley school and south of 435. So that is a motivating factor for PV/north Leawood.

I can see that point of view.
I just flat out do not like Leawood. The people are mostly jerks, everything looks awfully plain, HoA's are butt and the cops are dicks apparently.
As for PV, I'd just be concerned about all teardowns and rebuilding. Tax wise, it actually seemed like LS was worse when my wife and I were looking at places a year ago. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but **** did they seem outrageous.
